The Binding Hour

The Binding Hour is a short psychological horror game about an unnamed intruder trapped in a shifting house deep in the woods. After his car breaks down in a remote forest, a lone stranger searches for shelter and breaks into the abandoned house, where he awakens something ancient and malicious. As the hours pass, the house warps reality around him, and its rooms reveal twisted memories and buried secrets.
